Nurturing curious minds through authentic Montessori education
At ABC Montessori Center, we provide exceptional childcare services for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children. Our licensed and experienced caregivers create a safe, nurturing environment where your child can grow and develop at their own pace.
We understand that choosing childcare is one of the most important decisions you'll make as a parent. That's why we're committed to providing the highest quality care with a genuine Montessori approach that respects each child's individual needs and developmental stage.
Our childcare programs include nutritious meals, age-appropriate activities, and plenty of opportunities for play, learning, and social interaction. We maintain low child-to-teacher ratios to ensure personalized attention for every child.
We respect each child's unique learning pace and interests, fostering independence and confidence.
Our certified Montessori educators are passionate about nurturing young minds with care and expertise.
Carefully designed classrooms with Montessori materials that encourage exploration and discovery.
A comprehensive approach that develops academic, social, emotional, and physical skills.
Our preschool and early learning programs are designed to prepare children for academic success while nurturing their natural curiosity and love of learning. We offer a rich, engaging curriculum that covers all areas of development.
Through the Montessori method, children develop essential skills in literacy, mathematics, science, art, music, and practical life. Our prepared environment encourages independence, problem-solving, and critical thinking from an early age.
We focus on the whole child, supporting social-emotional growth, physical development, and cognitive advancement. Our small class sizes and individualized instruction ensure that each child receives the attention they need to flourish.
Building a strong foundation for lifelong learning
At ABC Montessori Center, we believe that every child is unique and has an innate desire to learn. Our approach is based on the educational philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, which emphasizes hands-on learning, self-directed activity, and collaborative play.
We provide a carefully prepared environment where children can explore, discover, and develop at their own pace.
Learn More About UsDiscover the educational philosophy that transforms lives
The Montessori Method is a time-tested educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori over a century ago. Based on scientific observations of children's natural learning patterns, it emphasizes respect for each child's individual development and innate desire to learn.
At ABC Montessori Center, we embrace this proven philosophy to create an environment where children become confident, capable, and compassionate learners. The Montessori approach is not just about academics—it's about developing the whole child.
Children choose their own activities from a range of options, working at their own pace to develop independence, concentration, and intrinsic motivation to learn.
Specially designed Montessori materials engage multiple senses and make abstract concepts concrete, allowing children to discover and understand through manipulation and exploration.
Children of different ages learn together, creating a family-like environment where younger children learn from older peers and older children reinforce their knowledge through teaching.
Carefully organized, beautiful classrooms are designed to promote independence, order, and respect. Everything is child-sized and within reach, encouraging exploration and self-sufficiency.
We honor each child's unique timeline for development, recognizing that children learn best when they're ready and when learning is meaningful to them personally.
Rather than external rewards, children develop internal satisfaction from mastering new skills, completing challenging work, and contributing to their community.

Learn MoreHear from our wonderful ABC Montessori family
"We love Ella's Classroom! We were uneasy at first about bringing our 11-month-old here and thought it might not go over well being away from home and Momma. But, he fell in love at the first visit and his fondness of 'school' has only grown with time. He's an only tiny, so having a safe space where he can experience a group dynamic below, at, and above his age is priceless. He's also exposed to a Montessori style classroom and Spanish language, which is so enriching for his development! For the price, you really can't beat it to PT daycare in Ashland."
"Our daughter has been enrolled in Ella's Classroom for a year and a half, since she was 6 months old, and all of the staff, caregivers and teachers have been wonderful to us. She's progressed so much in her language use and skill development, as well as her socialization, which was most important to us. We enjoy the bilingual immersion program and the support that the daycare offers to parents in the form of individual meetings to discuss our children's progress and any questions and concerns we may have. Most importantly, she loves going to daycare and talks about it before going to bed."
"Ella's Classroom is the absolute best! They care so deeply for our son and our family. They are experts in the Montessori method and provide a safe and engaging environment for the kids. They're very communicative throughout the day with updates via app and even provide fresh cooked meals throughout the day. So grateful to Ella and Chris for running such an amazing program!"
